Most of her jealousy had faded, replaced by worry that someone might try to prevent him.
Ye Chen displayed a confident smile: "Yanran, relax. Whoever I want to marry .....no one can stop me! When I married you, didn't I overcome those small obstacles easily?"
"Yes!"
Seeing his confidence, she trusted him completely.
"Qinglin, come here."
Ye Chen waved to the girl waiting quietly nearby.
"Yes, Young Master!"
Qinglin hurried to his side.
"Qinglin, this is my wife, Nalan Yanran. From now on, you will live here with her. She will arrange your room."
Ye Chen introduced with a light smile.
"Young Master, don't worry ..... I will serve Madam well!"
Qinglin quickly nodded, then bowed politely: "Greetings, Madam! My name is Qinglin, Young Master's servant!"
"Sister Qinglin, no need for such formal manners!"
Nalan Yanran replied warmly ..... Qinglin's earnest and adorable manner instantly won her affection.
"Qinglin, I ne
ver intended for you to be a servant. You needn't serve anyone.
Just focus on your cultivation… and accompany Yanran when you're free."
Ye Chen gently corrected her words.
"Yes, Qinglin, this will be your home from now on! And don't call me Madam ..... just call me 'Sister'!"
Nalan Yanran added with a soft voice. She could tell Qinglin was anything but ordinary.
"I… I have a home now…"
Qinglin's eyes brimmed with mist, voice full of gratitude: "Thank you, Young Master… Thank you, Sister Yanran…"
Early the next morning, after spending a warm night with Nalan Yanran, Ye Chen quietly left the imperial capital again, heading toward Wutan City.
Before departing, he arranged for Yaochen's soul to remain hidden inside the Miteer Family estate.
This was a precaution against the Jia Ma Imperial Family.
With Yaochen's strong soul strength, as long as he didn't show himself, even Ice Emperor Hai Bodong ..... living in the same family
..wouldn't detect him. In this way, he could secretly protect everyone.
"Forget it. Since this brat is so confident, he must have some certainty…"
Standing on a high balcony, Hai Bodong watched Ye Chen's departing silhouette, shaking his head.
He knew well that Ye Chen had already become a major threat to the Royal Family.
Even if Ye Chen had no intention of seizing power, the royals would still fear him .... they might make a move against him sooner or later.
Yet, Hai Bodong had never been able to see through Ye Chen. A Dou King before sixteen ... even monster wasn't enough to describe him. And he even knew a 7th-rank alchemist.
In the Jia Ma Empire, the power of a seventh-rank alchemist was unimaginable.
That was why Hai Bodong dared let Ye Chen go alone to Wutan City.
"Old man Jia… I hope we won't become enemies."
He sighed softly, turned around, and went back inside.
Ye Chen had just left when Miteer Tengshan and Miteer Huayuan began arranging matters urgently.
They sent wedding invitations across and beyond the capital to all nobles and powerful families close to them.
This news instantly caused a huge uproar in the capital.
"Have you heard? The Miteer Family's young master Ye Chen is getting married again!"
"He just married the Nalan Family girl a few months ago. Who's he marrying now?"
"I heard it's Miss Ya Fei from years ago. Her looks and figure don't lose to Nalan Yanran! The young master seems quite charming!"
"Doesn't this embarrass the Nalan Family?"
"Well, he is both the Miteer Family young master and the Cloud Mist Sect young sect master. Who wouldn't envy that?"
"Since the invitations are already out, it's not our business anyway!"
Just as everyone was busy discussing Ye Chen's marriage, another explosive piece of news shook the city:
Ice Emperor Hai Bodong has returned!
Originally, some elders in the Miteer Family opposed sending invitations so quickly.
They believed it would anger the Nalan Family and ruin a marriage opportunity with the Mu Family.
But once Tengshan and Huayuan revealed Hai Bodong's return, all objections disappeared instantly. No one dared to say another word.
The storm of Hai Bodong's return completely overshadowed the wedding news.
Inside the Nalan estate, a large hall.....
Nalan Jie sat at the head seat. Nalan Yanran's father, Nalan Su, stood below.
Nalan Jie stared at the invitation in his hands with a deeply furrowed brow.
"Father, the Miteer Family is too arrogant! They sent the wedding announcement without telling us at all!" Nalan Su said angrily.
